How to Make Your Home Much More Energy Efficient This Winter
There’s nothing that gets you thinking about energy efficiency quite like a cold breeze blowing over your toes while standing next to your front door. The farmhouse my partner and I bought this year is more than 100 years old, and while it’s full of historic charm, it’s seriously lacking in things like insulation and airtight sealing—no biggie, right?
Our biggest Year One project was replacing all the original single-pane windows in the house, and while I can’t wait to see the difference it makes in our oil bill, I know there’s still a lot we can do to (hopefully) reduce our wintertime heating costs.
